Introduction

The DX Engineering Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool Kit is ready for you to make professional
quality crimped coaxial cable assemblies using crimp style connectors, Powerpole® connectors and other
popular size wire terminations.

The DXE-UT-CRMP2 Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool is a quality ratcheting steel crimper,
ergonomically shaped for power, with soft non-slip dual color thermoplastic rubber grips for comfortable and
positive connector crimping results. The Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool is also made from high
quality carbon steel with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and durability. The DXE-UT-CRMP2
Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool features high crimping quality that is repeatable with precision
dies and their integral locking mechanism.

The DXE-UT-KIT-CRMP2 is supplied with the DXE-UT-DIE-8U Crimp Die for RG-8U/213/LMR-400
size cable. The included 2.5 mm Allen wrench is used to change to one of the other optional dies, to cover
the most popular sizes of coaxial cables with ten different Amphenol Connex crimp connectors in UHF
Male/PL-259, Type N, BNC, Powerpole® connector sizes 15, 30 and 45 Ampere connectors, Molex
connector pins, insulated crimp type connectors for 22-18/16-14/12-10 AWG and un-insulated crimp type
connectors for 20-18/16-14/12-10 and 8 AWG.

The DX Engineering Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool Kit, model DXE-UT-KIT-CRMP2,
provides a handsome, convenient carrying case furnished with the Ultra-Grip 2 Crimp Connector Hand Tool,
cable cutting, braid snipping tool and all five crimp die sets with a precut foam insert providing a home for
each tool and die set. The coaxial cable connector dies are designed to crimp the full ferrule and the center
pin.
